Chelsea fans on Twitter hail Loftus-Cheek and Miazga

The performances of Ruben Loftus-Cheek and debutant Matt Miazga against Aston Villa had many Chelsea fans on Twitter excited for the future. 

Loftus-Cheek scored his first Premier League goal in the 4-0 win, converting Cesar Azpilicueta’s cross.

And the manner of his late arrival into the box reminded some supporters of Frank Lampard, while others compared him to Juventus and France star Paul Pogba.

RLC is literally the next Lampard

I’m delighted with Loftus-Cheek. He has those Lampard-esque runs into the box, both of his goals were scored in this way.

Happy with emergence of RLC. If Conte can mould him into our Pogba-style player that would be amazing. Raw attributes are there. #chelseafc

I’ve said this for almost 2 years now, Loftus Cheek is as good as any up and coming young English midfielders. He’s special

Meanwhile, Miazga – playing in the absence of John Terry – has been tipped by some fans to be the captain’s replacement next season.

Would love Miazga to take over Terry’s role when he leaves. Hope he becomes incredible, and stays for years and years. Got potential.🎭

Dare I say it, I see a bit of JT in Miazga. I would love to see them play alongside each other.

Miazga what a talent. Looks like a young John Terry.
